Abstract
PRNP gene encodes PrP protein, which is conservative among different species and associates with the susceptibility of prion disease. In this report, we cloned and sequenced the full-length PRNP gene of Vulpes corsac in Qinghai plateau, China. The amino acid sequence of Vulpes corsac PrP showed 100% homology with those of the other three species of foxes. The taxa relationship of Vulpes corsac PrP with other species of animals, including human, canine, bovine, cervus, capra, ovis, camelus, felis, Mustela, mouse and hamster were also analysed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
